Hi Amy...
First of all...congratulations on your surgery date!!!
I just read your post on the message board. So sorry to hear about your knee injury. How long do the doctors expect your knee to be hurting you like it is? I know how Dr. Ali wants us to start exercising and trying to lose a little weight before surgery, but it sounds like you have been doing really well. Hang in there, and try to get your knee in good shape now because the walkiing will be so important post-op. Don't try and push yourself too hard. And hopefully you can get back into a little exercise before your surgery and lose more. I have been wanting to join Curves and I want to do this before my surgery. But you have been much more motivated than I and unfortunately it has been all talk and no action for me so far. One of these days...!
Feel free to email me anytime...
[email protected] and I can give you my number if you ever need to talk. I know we live close, but I can't remember exactly where you are.
Take Care!
